The Minimum Resource Requirements for Business Continuity Recovery table outlines the essential staffing, infrastructure, and equipment needed to resume critical business functions—specifically Customer Transactions and Payment Processing—at designated recovery locations during a disruption.

This planning ensures that Boost Bank Malaysia can sustain essential services and maintain customer trust, compliance, and operational integrity in the event of a crisis.

Each sub-process within the broader customer transaction ecosystem—such as fund transfers, bill payments, debit card usage, and merchant settlements—has been carefully assessed to determine the minimum number of staff, workstations, telephony needs, computing devices, and specialised tools or systems necessary to restore operations to a functional level.
